Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Health Services has put measures in place to deliver time-sensitive correspondence as quickly as possible to its clients, physicians, employees and vendors during the postal disruption at Canada Post. 

During this labour dispute, NL Health Services will make every effort to deliver payments, reports, notification of appointments and other time-sensitive correspondence as quickly as possible, with minimal interruption in service; however, some delays can be anticipated. 

Client Cheques 

Clients are encouraged to receive their funds through Electronic Funds Transfer directly to their bank account if they have not already arranged for this service. Clients should contact their financial assessment officers to make these arrangements. 

Alternatively, cheques will be transported via courier to centralized community services buildings throughout each zone. Clients who are expecting payments from NL Health Services should pick up their cheques at the locations and times listed on this page.

Clients may also call the following numbers to find out where and when cheques will be available. 

• Eastern Urban and Rural zones – 1-833-752-4637 

• Central Zone – 709-651-6333 

• Western Zone – 709-784-6039 

• Labrador-Grenfell Zone – 709-897-2150 or 709-897-2334 

 

Prescription Medications Via Mail 

During the postal strike, patients throughout the province who normally receive prescription medications from NL Health Services through postal delivery will receive their prescriptions via courier. If the patient is not home at time of delivery, a notice will be left on the door including a contact number so that delivery can be re-arranged. 

Patient Reports 

Patient reports will be delivered to referring physicians by courier or fax, as per the usual process, with additional drop-offs, as needed. 

Appointment Notices 

Appointment notices will continue to be delivered through Canada Post. Some program areas will advise by telephone of appointments scheduled within a short timeframe. 

Vendors 

NL Health Services is working with vendors to avoid significant delays in payments and encourages vendors to speak with the relevant accounts payable department to discuss payment options.

For Eastern Urban, Rural and Central zones, vendors are encouraged to set up an electronic fund transfer if they have not already done so.

For Western and Labrador-Grenfell zones, electronic fund transfer is unavailable so we encourage vendors awaiting payments to provide a physical address (not P.O. Box) where cheques can be couriered. Cheques will be couriered on a priority basis and not all payments may qualify for courier status.

Employee Cheques 

NL Health Services’ employees who typically receive their pay cheques via postal delivery will be able to pick up their pay cheques where they work or to arrange for direct deposit.
